Iconic artists from the Philippinesand India are set to take center stage for the inaugural World Music Festival on July 3-4, 2025.
It’s going to be two nights of epic performances — so get ready to dance, sing along, and enjoy the vibes.
The doors to the music festival venue are set to open at 4pm. However, the show is expected to begin by 8pm — which gives you plenty of time to grab your snacks, snap a few selfies, and settle in before the show kicks off.
And if you’re looking for more unforgettable musical experiences in Doha, then there many concerts coming up.
Who’s performing?
Day 1 Performance
Night one of the World Music Festival is starting strong with Filipino pop band December Avenue, known for their soul-stirring melodies like their song ‘Bulong’. They are performing in Doha for the first time. The performance will be followed by rapper Gloc-9, who will electrify the crowd with his heartfelt anthems from his 30-year-long career.
You can expect some unmistakable sing-along songs that’ll have you and your friends partying until the last note.
Day 2 Performance
Desi night on full swing during the second day of the World Music Festival.
And you can expect the headliner, the Sultan of Soulful Music, Adnan Sami, to perform live. This Indian singer, musician, composer, actor and pianist is known for this hits like “Kabhi To Nazar Milao” and “Tera Chehra”.
Where’s the event?
The World Music Festivals will be taking place at Aspire Ladies Hall.
If you’replanning on taking the metro, the closest stop to the stadium is the Sports City Station on the Gold Line. The walk from the stadium to the stadium should take around 15 minutes.
And if the metro’s not your thing, don’t worry — there’s plenty of parking around aspire. And if you’re trying to dodge the chaos, you can head across the road and park near the metro station or at Villaggio (though let’s be honest, that’ll probably be busy too).
There will be a designated drop-off lane for ride-hailing apps, so if you’re coming with a taxi to the music festival, then keep an eye out for the signs.
